Editorial Reviews

Review

"Talk about a killer debut! Spoiler alert: Daniel Greene has written one of the most thrilling post-apocalyptic books of 2016." - New York Times Bestselling Author of the Extinction Cycle, Nicholas Sansbury Smith

Best New Zombie Books of 2016 - RANKING SQUAD
"Daniel Greene does not disappoint me in this first book in a series...it's an action packed book that will keep you glued to the pages. But will the safe zone hold? If you like the zombie genre, this is a great addition." Cyrene, Uncaged Reviews, ★★★★★

"From the very first scene of Greene's gruesome, entrancing thriller, readers know that they are in for one hell of a ride. Greene is meticulous in his detail, particularly in the panicked, close-quarters fighting that makes readers bite their nails in gleeful terror. For a complex, character-driven action thriller with enough gore and urban battles to satisfy hardcore zombie-genre fans, End Time is a bloody mess of fun from top to bottom." SELF-PUBLISHING REVIEW, 4½ Stars

"For fans of The Walking Dead and zombie fiction, this tale of how the plague of the undead began and how mankind fights for survival is great." LISA'S WRITOPIA

"Loved this book! Zombie books are a particular favourite of mine anyway, but this one blew me away. Mark is an awesome main character, and I loved his flaws as much as his bad a** attitude. The plot of this book spirals quickly and leaves you gripped until the very last page. I cannot recommend highly enough!" SAMIE SANDS, Author of the AM13 Outbreak Series

"This story was paced out perfectly. From the moment that I was dropped in the middle of the Congo, I was immersed. Greene lays out just enough scientific background, to make the spread of this disease feel realistic."HOPELESS BIBLIOPHILE

"The author brings a very real sense of current danger in the world, with Counterterrorism agents and doctors overseas trying to deal with diseases in a third world country. Grab your seat as characters encounter the deadly virus and the escalating terror that follows." MYRA NOUR'S HORROR BLOG, ★★★★★

This is a really good book.

Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2016

Verified Purchase

An exciting and fresh new take on the zombie apocalypse. This book hooks you from the beginning with engaging characters and unbelievable action. Told from the character's point of view, each one has a different voice, take on the apocalypse, and strategy for survival. From the intelligent but terrified scientist studying the virus, the duty-driven special agent, or the lovable girl next door, each character feels unique and real. This is a great debut from a talented author. I am excited to see where he takes us next.

Again, this is a really good book. If you are a fan of the genre you will enjoy this book a lot.

A Post-Apocalyptic Military Thriller (with Zombies)

Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2018

3.5 out of 5 stars

This is the first "zombie" post-apocalyptic book I've read in quite a while. It reminded me a lot of The Extinction Cycle series by Nicholas Sansbury Smith (who I believe was quoted saying something about really enjoying this book when it was originally released in 2016). It's part military thriller and part post-apocalyptic story with a whole lot of zombie action in it. There were scenes that reminded me of 28 Days Later and others that reminded me of The Walking Dead - so if you're a fan of either of those - you'd probably enjoy End Time.

The narration by Szarabajka was interesting - there were times that I was cringing and others where I thought it was perfect. It was a little overperformed for my liking (when someone yelled he yelled). It just makes listening in a car hard - you never know the volume to keep the book. It wouldn't have made me dislike the book though - just something to watch out for if you're sensitive to random outbursts from narrators. His inflections were great though and made a sometimes "straight-laced" book feel more interesting.

My wife went to school in DC, so it was interesting to watch the zombies grow and affect regions that I have been and walked before. That was easily my favorite part of End Time and will be the most memorable the next time we go back. I also liked that it was supposed to have come from a virus - I'm a sucker for books that start out like this and that's where my comparison to 28 Days Later really comes into play.

The scenes with the zombies (and the characters trying to outsmart them) were really well written. I enjoyed these the most and I thought that Greene did an especially good job writing both fear and courage into some of them.

I started and stopped this one a few times. And at times I had a hard time digging into this one. Not for lack of good writing or storytelling - it just wasn't sitting right with me. After finishing it, I still can't really tell what it was. I think I'll need to get into the other books to figure out if it was just something that was going on with me personally while reading this or if the books had something in them that bugged me.

Overall, it's no Extinction Cycle, but End Time is an enjoyable zombie book. I will be curious what happens in the next two books and will probably pick up the next one once it's released - even if it's just to hear Szarabajka tell the story.

A Post-Apocolypic Must Read!

Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2018

Verified Purchase

Agent Steele is not your typical action novel or post-apocalyptic hero. I think that is the reason that I absolutely devoured (if you'll excuse the pun) this book. I'm no stranger to books that take place after some major catastrophe wipes out our normal existence. However, End Time (though in the same genre) was completely different. What I really like about Agent Steele was that he wasn't perfect. In fact, I found myself questioning his decisions from time to time. Typically, in these stories, you have a good guy who is the idealized bad-ass who fires a machine gun with one hand while holding onto the damsel in distress all - while firing off cheesy one liners. No doubt Steele is a bad-ass, but he is shown to be a man with flaws, fears, and reservations that make him so much more human than his action-star counterparts from other novels. Additionally, the damsel in End Time seems like she could probably take care of her self! I really liked that she wasn't the type of character to just bury her head in Steele's chest and cry the whole time. She grabs a gun and kicks ass right along side him!

Though Steele clearly has more training than the normal person, we get to peak into his mind a lot throughout the book. In these moments I felt I could relate to him completely. It was as if I were in his shoes having to deal with the problems he found himself facing. Not many stories can do that! The author, instead of having the reader just be a passive observer to the story, brings you along so that you feel like you are a part of the narrative.
Zombie stories are familiar to us all, but End Time takes the time to start slow and show how bit by bit our civilization would crumble. Instead of rushing to the Hordes of Undead part, the author takes us from the start where its just another sad news story you skim past to where the gov't begins to shut down. I look forward to reading part two in this trilogy and seeing where the story goes.

Overall, I would highly recommend this book. The dialog flows easily and the characters are genuine. There were times where, before I knew it, I had consumed (another pun!) huge sections of the book. Check it out. I know you'll enjoy it.

Thrilling read - can't wait for the next one!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 30, 2017

A scarily realistic insight into a potential zombie apocalypse. Right from the start End Time takes you on a wild and thrilling ride from the heart of the Congo to the heart of the US. Greene's style pulls the reader into the plot, and most importantly, into each character, making you feel like you're right there with them. It's as though End Time grants you top secret access to how the US government and counter-terrorism really works.
Greene leaves you on a tantalising cliff hanger - bring on book 2!!

This is a hard hitting character based book that pulls no punches, well written with various perspectives on an event that is all too possible in the world we live in. The authors attention to detail is meticulous and the action is non stop. If you want a book you won’t be able to put down, this book is for you.
